UN nuclear watchdog says ‘no indication’ Iran nuclear installations hit
UN nuclear watchdog head Rafael Grossi says his agency has “no indication” that any nuclear installations in Iran had been damaged or hit in the US-Israeli strikes.
“Efforts to contact the Iranian nuclear regulatory authorities… continue, with no response so far. We hope this indispensable channel of communication can be re-established as soon as possible,” Grossi says as he opened a special session on Iran of the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Grossi says the situation in the Middle East was “very concerning,” urging “utmost restraint” after Israeli-US strikes on Iran and its retaliatory missile attacks.
“I reiterate my call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid further escalation,” Grossi says.
